I have to have another surgery :(



Recommended Posts

As I told you all a while ago I have been having trouble with my gall bladder. Well I went and saw my surgeon on Friday and He said it has to come out. That an infected GB can infect my band and then I would lose my band. NO WAY!! My surgery is Friday the 15th. I will have to stay overnight because of my disability and the fact that I live so far away from hospital. He said it's better safe than sorry. I agree!

I swear when I get to Heaven (many many years from now) I am going to ask God why he put all this stuff in us that we don't really need!!

Oh well, Wish me luck, Pray for me or send me white lights, what ever you believe just send it my way.

SEE YA!

Best of luck to you. I thought the gallbladder surgery was easier than the lapband surgery. Let us know how you're feeling post-op.

Good luck. I had my gallbladder out a few months ago. I think that it was easier than the band surgery. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm so glad your doctor found the problem before it turned into an emergency situation -- please find comfort in knowing that! Good luck to you - wishing you well in surgery & through recovery!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and prayers. I'm not really that nervous about this surgery but I am bummed I have to have it. My surgeon said it would be easier because of my weight loss so it should be a piece of cake.

Hugs to all and again Thanks! :D

I got all my pre-op done today. I feel as if I walked 100 miles in that hospital. I had to have blood test, ekg, chest x-ray and urine test.

Well at least that part is over. Wednesday they are going to call me for pre-admit so I don't have to drive the 3 hours and then back. and then back again on Friday.

Talk to ya later!! :rolleyes:

Hey Terri, just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you. Hope your GB comes out nice and clean!

Get that GB out before it can affect your band baby!

So, you said you felt like you'd walked 100 miles... Does this mean that you are walking? (yes? Yes!)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
